Mojo Madness Contest #63

Monday, December 1, 2008

Happy December! Since it's the first Monday in a new month, that means it's time for another Mojo Madness Contest! This one embraces the white space, and I'd love to see y'all do the same! :)

How to enter: Use the sketch to create a project and then post a link to your creation in the comments of this post.Deadline: Monday, December 8 at Noon Mountain Time (There's a clock on the sidebar with the official Poetic Artistry time).

Prize: This is a judged contest, so my two favorite entries will each win their choice of any Verve Stamps set (up to $24)!

The winners will be announced on Wednesday, December 10. Sound like fun? Well, let's get started! If you upload your cards to Splitcoast Stampers or Paper Craft Planet, please use keyword Mojo63 (no space between Mojo and 63) so they're all together. As always, you can use any stamps or products your heart desires. Just have fun and show me how mojolicious you are! I can't wait to see everyone's entries!

My sample card uses the new Deck the Hall set by The Cat's Pajamas. I just love this image of Sprinkle up in the tree. Here's what's in it...

Cute card! I can't imagine why a cat in a Christmas tree would appeal to you.... I used to have a tree-climber - she would climb about half way up the inside of the tree and STARE OUT at me when I was sitting on the couch. Creepy green cat eyes shining out of the tree! LOL! Sandi would just lay underneath the tree and chew the corners off all the presents. Yeah. And the ribbons and bows too. I haven't had a package with a ribbon or bow under my tree since 1987....

Here's my card for yet another one of your terrific sketches. I always love to check them out and was so glad I had a window of time today to do this: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1147683?cat=500&ppuser=7104:

Great sketch and card! I came by quickly to see the sketch. When I was done I came back to get the keyword. That's when I noticed we were to embrace the white space... and it was a contest. Oops.

I left a message for you on the Verve forum. Thank you so much for your note and gift (I used that set 1st!!!) The note was so special to me and I'll be writing about why on my Bipolar blog tonight without using names... unless you want me to. I can always edit.

Here's my first card for this week's challenge. Uploaded to SCS instead of my blog this time. I don't think the pictures came out well. The white base for the card looks much better IRL! http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1148644?cat=500&ppuser=170730

Julee- great sketch! I just got my top note die for my cuttlebug so I HAD to use it! In other words, I've taken a few liberties with this sketch but I still think it fits. . . Here it is http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1149863?cat=500&ppuser=116998

Hey Julee! I'm back! Finally...lolI've actually made two using your sketch but here is the link to my Verve stamped card.http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1150191?cat=500&ppuser=93708Thanks for looking!

Great Sketch Julee and what a beautiful card! I wish I didn't embrace the white so much on my card, but I hope you like it...Here it ishttp://kayscreativecorner.blogspot.com/2008/12/mojo-madness.htmlThanksSita

Great sample! I had fun with this one-I was a mojo monday virgin before now!! Hopefully I can link you up with my card ; ) Please excuse the bit of blur-my camera died so I had to scan it in...grr.http:/www.splitcoaststampers.com.gallery/photo/1150425?cat=500&ppuser=173312

Here is my other attempt at the sketch-I actually did this one first, but couldn't wait to load that cute little porcupine! Hope I'm doing this uploading thing correctly!!!http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1150439cat=500&ppuser173312

Me again! Ignore that last 'anonymous' post because I didn't type my link exactly... try againhttp://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1150439?cat=500&ppuser173312That's all from me for now -I promise

Ok the white space was hard for me to leave alone but I did it. It was a good challenge for me! Thanks for another great sketch. -Molly Bhttp://mollyslazydogblog.blogspot.com/2008/12/embracing-white-space-is-hard.html

Great sketch, Julee! I love your sample card! I finally got a chance to make a card with the sketch. Here it is:http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1152547?cat=500&ppuser=143903Thanks for the inspiration!Carla

I really like this sketch and wanted to follow it exactly. However, the new stamps that I got and just HAD to use were a little bigger so I changed it just a tad. You can see my birthday card here: http://michellescreativejourney.blogspot.com/2008/12/mojo-madness-contest-63.html

Well only 2 weeks late! The holiday hustle and bustle got the best of me! Here is what I did with the sketch:http://craftyengineering.blogspot.com/2008/12/embrace-white-birthday.html

Hoping you might be able to help me spread the word a bit regarding a RAK request I have for a very sick baby girl. If you could take a look at this post:http://craftyengineering.blogspot.com/2008/12/blog-candy-for-cause-ii.html
